If you’re a devoted fan of Buffalo street art, you’ll recognize this simple stick person. You may even know the name of its creator—though they keep their identity carefully hidden.. 

This instant recognition is the reward for your time and attention. And if you were a street art aficionado, you would know that such meaning-packed symbols are everywhere in the urban environment. But only if you know where to look. 

Simple, hidden or subtle messages are meant as a nod to those in the know. Some, like Invader’s mosaics, can be spotted all around the globe. Others, like this one, may be the work of an artist whose other endeavors have brought them great fame or fortune.
